Black Sticks men draw with India

The New Zealand men's hockey team has drawn 3-all with India in their latest match at the World League in Rotterdam.

The result means the Blacks Sticks are likely to finish second in their group and will play Spain in the quarter-finals.

New Zealand led 1-nil at half time, but then had to come from behind twice in the second half.

Marcus Child, Stephen Jenness and Blair Hilton scored New Zealand's goals.

A top 3 finish in the 8-strong tournament automatically qualifies a side for next year's World Cup.
